What are the fun places in Qinghai? Which attractions must be visited?

I have been to Qinghai three times. The first time I went to Qinghai was in June 2012. My partner and I signed up for the Yellow River Crossing Competition in Xunhua, knowing that Xining is known as the Summer Capital. Of course, lamb is a must. On this trip, we went to Taer Temple and Qinghai Lake. We swam in a plateau lake at an altitude of 3200 for the first time. The water was cold and we were short of breath. Then, I went to Atomic City by Qinghai Lake. When I slid my hand across an electronic screen, I learned for the first time that the national hero Guo Yonghuai from Rongcheng, Shandong Province, was a hero with two bombs and one satellite, and finally died for the country. It was only after I went to Xunhua that I learned that the water of the Yellow River here is relatively clear, and I learned about the elegance and beauty of Aunt Salal. I went to Mengda Tianchi and felt that a pool of water on the plateau could change the surrounding ecological environment.

The second time I went to Qinghai was in August 2014, when I traveled to the northwest with a group. There is only one scenic spot in Qinghai, and that is Qinghai Lake. I entered through the gate of Erlangjian Scenic Area and swam along the lake for a while. I grew up by the sea and was used to seeing the sea, so I had no excitement about the lake.

The third time I went to Qinghai was in August 2016. That year I drove to Tibet by myself, entering on the Sichuan-Tibet line and exiting on the Qinghai-Tibet line, crossing the source of the Three Rivers and Golmud. I stayed in Delingha for one night, went to Chaka Salt Lake, and went to Qinghai Lake for the third time, and swam in the lake. When the water is high and the temperature becomes hot, I look at the tail end of the rapeseed flowers by the lake. They say that the rapeseed flowers near Qinghai Lake are very famous in July.
